Choose the period you want to learn in the Strategy tester

Set the Neurons to test between 1 and 100 step 1

Choose the best setting for your live trading requirement (also ensure you set the buy and sell orders both to 1 for the most effective strategy if you are allowed to hedge)

The actual results will soon follow . You can increase risk with more orders and increasing the maxnextlot size. The DesignAutolot can also be changed to keep the symmetry of the settings different sized accounts. If it is set to 10000 then only once the balance passes 10000 will it increase the starting lot size. if you want to put high risk on $500 for example then you can set it to $500 and it will increase the lots size by double if it reaches 1000 and so on. This is all for more advanced users with larger accounts . Beginners should just change the neurons and make buy and sell orders both 1

Interim results. The maxnextlot was set to 10000 here which is why many have drawdown. More impressive results can be achieved when testing only 1 week

Still running , interesting results. Next we will do just monday and tuesday last week to prepare for monday (check post date)

some lower drawdown options from the same list.

best results from Monday and Tuesday last week

This is the backtest from the settings above with the set file attached to run on Monday 18 Dec

It turns out after further evaluation that this test was only conducted for the monday . In fact it was so curve fitted that it didnt work for Tuesday ! Retesting now for 2 days .. One needs to be careful and check things :-) testing over a longer period makes it more average for conditions. 10-13 is 2 days :-)

And quickly we have a great new selection

Numbers are in for 2 days :-) .. now testing pass highlighted 40416

Crashes on other dates so it looks like we will go with the average settings for the month of December so far! Just being careful there are people who can move the market always looking for opportunities. with so much choice now after all of these tests we will find out tomorrow

Decided the set from Friday worked great so using it again , target set to $20700

Very quiet day , around Christmas .. but we still made a small profit for the day

Target met and the EA closed orders and stopped.

I purchased GoldHFT MT5, but the basic settings are not working properly and the EA does not work.

What should I do?

Hi There . Have you run the optimization as described in the comments above? At which point is it not working ? Even the default should trade.  I will need more information to try and assist you . Please describe the problem in detail and i will do my best to offer a way forward. Thank you

One step you should take is the last setting, verbose. Change it to true. If there is any legitimate technical reason it is not trading, such as equity too low for the desired trade it will tell you in the logs when verbose is true. Also it uses the history to make decisions. By changing the magicnum to an unused one, the history up to the new start will be ignored. Pls advise if you do not know what a magicnum is then you will need to get some education on MT5 automated trading in general. thanks - "Yes, the "magic number" is so that an EA is able to identify trades between various EAs that may be operating at the same time, or even the same EA that is being used on different time-frames (provided it also filters by symbol)." - https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/369767

Also - pls change the Design Equity Autolot to 1000000 to ensure the smallest lots to start
